Liverpool’s forgotten defender delighted after reviving Anfield career

Brad Smith’s late strike against Exeter City helped Liverpool to settle for a 2-2 draw, forcing them to play in the FA Cup replay at Anfield on Wednesday.

Liverpool sealed a 3-0 victory over Exeter in the FA Cup reply as goals from João Teixeira, Joe Allen and Sheyi Ojo saw Jurgen Klopp’s side move further in the competition. Smith got his first start for the Reds as he featured on the left hand side of the defence and he played for the entire 90 minutes against the League Two side.

The Australian defender, who was out of contract at the club last summer, kept the Reds alive in the competition.
